UNDERWATER PROPELLER POLISHING

The underwater propeller polishing and the maintenance of the smooth

surfaces, is vital in order to save energy and optimize the performance of the
ship (improvement of vessels performance). The rough propeller leads to power
loss, which can be up to 6% as well as an increase of fuel consumption.
There are several factors which are responsible for increasing the roughness of the
propeller and which act together achieving a reduction in the smoothness of the propeller.
These factors are:
Marine pollution The hydrodynamic cavitation
Propellers structure, materials origin Mechanical damage from collision with
The deposition of calcium carbonate objects that can be found at sea
The corrosion of the metal
The underwater propeller polishing is now part of the regular ship maintenance.
Advantages of the underwater propeller polishing:
Increase and improvement of vessels Stress Reduction of the propeller axis and the
performance vessels machinery
Reduced fuel consumption up to 6% The propeller and rudder are cleaned
CO2 emission reduction of gases in the marine simultaneously, to further enhance the
environment performance of the vessel
Increase of vessels speed Increased reliability
Reduction of unwanted vibrations due to Expansion of vessels maintenance cycles
